'Letters Patent No. 74,437, dated .February 11, 1868i IMPROVEMENT IN HAND-TURNING TOOL.

TO ALL WIIOM IT MAY CONCERN: i

Be it knowntllst I, Anios B. SIMONDS, of Youngstown, Mahoning county, Ohio, have invented a new and improved Chisel; and I do hereby 'declare that the following is a full, clear, and exaict description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had tothe accompanying l' drawing, forming part of' this specification.

The present invention relates to an improved chisel or tool for turning the heads of bolts or other articles in connection with the turning of which hand-tools are used. 4

The tools or chisels heretofore used are mode with solid Shanks, 'and when the cutting-part is worn out the whole tool is destroyed and rendered useless; and the present invention consists in so' attaching-the cutter to the shank of the tool that it can be removed or detached therefrom when worn, and a new oneupplied, as will be hereinafter more particularly described, reference being had -to the accompanying plate of drawings, in which the figure is a. control section through the tool or chisel and its handle.

A, in the drawings, represents the handle to the tool, on one end of which is fixed, by screwing or otherwise, a hollow screw-threaded socket or shank, B. In this screw-socket B n bolt, C, is screwed, that :it its outer end ,or head D'has applied to it. a. cutter, E,Awhich, by properly screwing in the said bolt C, is {i'rnily held against a. collar or sleeve, F,'applied tothe screw-bolt, between the cutter and the end of the screw-socket.-`

The screwbolt C is provided with a'rib or projection, a, upon its sides, that fits within the notch b, upon the bore of the cutter and sleeve or collar F, ond prevents the cutter from turning when nsed.

With the cutter or chisel secured to its holder in the manner above described, when worn,`it can be detached therefrom and a new one sobs'tituted for it, the other portion or parts of the tool being still useful in lieu`of useless, as with the mode of construction heretofore prcctised.

Hoving thus described my invention, what I cla-im as new, and desire to secure by Letters Pate-nt, is

The screw-bolt 0 provided with n, projection, a, in combination with tbe socket B, collar F, cutter E, and a. handle, A, all constructed, arranged, and operating substantially as described and for the purpose specified.
